Believed Quotes (page 143)

You can't expect anyone to trust revelation if he hasn't experienced it himself. Those who haven't only know reason. And since revelation is a thing apart, and cannot be accounted for reasonably, they never will believe you. This is the great division of the world and always has been. When reason and revelation run together, why, then you have something great, a great age. Mark Helprin
I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run. Henry David Thoreau
Jose Rizal quote: "I have to believe much in God because I have lost my faith in..."
I have to believe much in God because I have lost my faith in man. Jose Rizal
I am unaware of his plans but I shall never stop believing in them because I cannot fathom them and I prefer to mistrust my own intellectual capacities than his justice. Alexis de Tocqueville
John Stuart Mill quote: "I believe in spectacles, but I think eyes necessary too."
I believe in spectacles, but I think eyes necessary too. John Stuart Mill
Frank Herbert quote: "They are not mad. They're trained to believe, not to know...."
They are not mad. They're trained to believe, not to know. Belief can be manipulated. Only knowledge is dangerous. Frank Herbert
Human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to believe in a certain way, and can't really get rid of it. C. S. Lewis
I believe that I am not responsible for the meaningfulness or meaninglessness of life, but that I am responsible for what I do with the life I've got. Herman Hesse
I have met some highly intelligent believers, but history has no record to say that [s]he knew or understood the mind of god. Yet this is precisely the qualification which the godly must claim—so modestly and so humbly—to possess. It is time to withdraw our 'respect' from such fantastic claims, all of them aimed at the exertion of power over other humans in the real and material world. Christopher Hitchens
The ingenerating of a principle of grace in the soul seems in Scripture to be compared to the conceiving of Christ in the womb... And the conception of Christ in the womb of the blessed virgin by the power of the Holy Ghost, seems to be a designed resemblance of the conception of Christ in the soul of a believer by the power of the same Holy Ghost. Jonathan Edwards
S. E. Hinton quote: "I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me."
I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me. S. E. Hinton
Nature says the rock is billions of years old, but the book says different, so even though men wrote the book, and God made the rock and God gave us minds that have found ways to tell how old it is, we still choose to believe the Scripture. Sheri S. Tepper
What right have you to pray for me? I need no intercessor, I shall manage alone. The prayers of a wretch I might accept, but no one else’s, not even a saint’s. I cannot bear your bothering about my salvation. If I apprehend salvation and flee it, your prayers are merely an indiscretion. Invest them elsewhere; in any case, we do not serve the same gods. If mine are impotent, there is every reason to believe yours are no less so. Even assuming they are as you imagine them, they would... Emile M. Cioran
I believe that we should only read those books that bite and sting us. If a book does not rouse us with a blow then why read it? Franz Kafka
My last girlfriend was Greek,” said the Iceman. “The shit her family ate. You would not believe. Like rice wrapped in leaves. Shit like that. Neil Gaiman
